    Diane, these are amazing! When I think of desert I always think of dry and sandy and barren. That witchgrass is so pretty....and it's all so green and colorful (and feathery;))

    The roadrunner you met is superb!
    and you know so well all the names of everything you meet during your walks!

    Beautiful, Diane! Each photo is amazing, and I will never stop wondering how many things you can find in a desert!

    hee hee...
    That roadrunner doesn't look all that happy about being photographed. Did he run away from you?

    I also love that you know everything you see and share that information with us. Next time I'm out walking I'll be able to sound like I know something. :) I love the witch grass.

    I used to think of deserts as dead places but your desert is very much alive.

    Your images never disappoint! The Witchgrass is new to me. I like the pink or red tone of it. My favorite, though, would have to be the roadrunner - I never get enough of seeing them! =)

    Na pustyni tyle się działo w połowie październiku, to mnie zaskoczyło. Wszystko co na zdjęciach urocze, ale najbardziej podobają mi się obrazy z szóstego i ósmego zdjęcia z góry. Pozdrawiam
